Jinzhou, Houjin Daying

"Someone, get together!"

As soon as the sky was bright, Huang Taiji, who had been thinking hard all night, rubbed his bloodshot eyes and made up his mind.

Since coming to Jinzhou, the reactions of the Ming army have exceeded Huang Taiji's expectations. Huang Taiji has found that his strategic vision is showing signs of collapse, and he must now make amends.

The whining horn has not stopped, and the important ministers and generals of Houjin have all walked quickly into the Jinding sweat tent.

At this stage, even if there is dissatisfaction with Huang Taiji in his heart, no one dares to challenge the military rules and precepts left by Nurhachi.

After the gathering was completed, contrary to the politeness of the previous deliberations, Huang Taiji directly grabbed a golden batch of orders: "Mang Gurtai? ”

"Yes." Although reluctant, Mang Gurtai still stepped forward and answered loudly.

Holding the Golden Approval Decree in his hand, Huang Taiji glanced at the surrounding generals and asked sharply: "Mang Gurtai, you have always been brave and good at fighting. If you were to command a large army to attack the city, how many men would you need, and how many days would it take to take Jinzhou? ”

"This?" Mang Gurtai's mouth was knotted for a while, and he was speechless for a while.

After seeing the unusually sharp artillery fire in Jinzhou, how dare Mang Gurtai speak casually now.

Seeing Mang Gurtai's tangled face, the corners of Huang Taiji's mouth rose slightly: "Sanbeile, you weren't scared by the artillery of the Ming army, right?" Didn't you notice that the round of artillery of the Ming army was a bit dense? Also, don't you see, after the shelling, the craters on that battlefield seem to be a little bigger, and there are more? ”

Looking at the thoughtful Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji gave a hint again: "Sanbeile, I remember that you are in the Blue Banner and love the Bari Department, and you once encountered the Ming army's pre-buried firearms, which led to his death, right?" ”

At the mention of the fallen love will love Barry, Mang Gultai's face changed.

In Houjin, Mang Gurtai asked himself that although he couldn't win a hundred battles like the old Khan Nurhachi, he could be regarded as brave and good at defeating more and losing less. But the recent attack on Lushun really made Mang Gurtai feel that he had lost face.

The attack on Lushun was not much damage to the soldiers of the Blue Banner, but the younger brother Derge was injured and his arm was broken, and the love general Ai Barry was killed, which was caused by the two new firearms that suddenly appeared in the Ming army.

Thinking of the words of the pro-army who fled back to Aibari, and the huge crater he saw with his own eyes, Mang Gurtai's eyes widened: "Old eight, are you saying that yesterday's artillery bombardment by the Ming army actually relied on disposable firearms buried in the ground, not the power of their artillery?" ”

"Not bad." Huang Taiji nodded without hesitation: "I have also thought carefully about the doubts raised by Tong Yangxing, and I believe in his judgment." ”

Such?

While carefully calculating in his heart, Mang Gurtai turned his head to look at Tong Yangxing. Seeing Tong Yangxing's affirmative nod, Mang Gurtai no longer hesitated: "Old eight, let Tong Yangxing be my deputy general, and give me the command of 50,000 Han troops, and I will take Jinzhou for you in five or seven days." ”

As soon as Mang Gurtai's words fell, Huang Taiji laughed loudly: "Okay, good, this is my Dajin Sanbeile, who is known for his bravery. Is it 50,000 Han troops? I'll give it to you. ”

In the midst of laughter, Huang Taiji handed the golden order in his hand to Mang Gurtai: "Sanbeile, Tong Yangxing commands 50,000 Han troops to be your lieutenant general." Jinzhou is handed over to you, how to attack, you are fully responsible. ”

50,000 Han troops, just give it to me?

Rao is reckless Gurtai is straightforward, but when he saw that Huang Taiji so easily handed over the command of the 50,000 Han army to him, his face couldn't help but be stunned.

"Take it?" Seeing Mang Gurtai in a daze, Huang Taiji took a step forward and stuffed the golden order into Mang Gurtai's arms.

Stuffing out the golden order, Huang Taiji turned his head again and smiled: "Jinzhou will be handed over to Sanbeile, and the others will follow me to Ningyuan." I want to see how evil this Ning Yuan is. ”

Hearing Huang Taiji's arrangement, Fan Wencheng seemed to be finally unbearable: "Great Khan, Jinzhou is difficult to take, I should do my best to ......"

"I've made up my mind, and there's no need to discuss it anymore." Without waiting for Fan Wencheng to finish speaking, Huang Taiji's face sank, and he directly interrupted Fan Wencheng's exhortation.

The golden order in his hand, and hearing Huang Taiji's words, Mang Gurtai's heart was excited.

Huang Taiji directly handed over the Jinzhou battlefield to him, and completely let him do it. This, that's great. With 50,000 Han troops in hand, Mang Gurtai felt that he was still somewhat sure of attacking Jinzhou.

Hearing that Fan Wencheng had the meaning of persuasion, Mang Gurtai, who was excited, clenched the golden order without hesitation: "Old eight, you can go to Ningyuan." I'll take Jinzhou and then I'll help you attack Ningyuan. ”

"Okay, good," Seeing Mang Gurtai speak, Huang Taiji also laughed heartily: "Sanbeile has the certainty of attacking Jin, then all the armies will go back to pull out the camp, and let's set off to Ningyuan." ”

"Wow."

Hearing Huang Taiji's order, Yue Tuo and Dolgon, the important ministers in the tent, agreed neatly. Dai Shan's eyes turned and hesitated slightly, and he echoed it, only Azig was bored for a moment, and then he reluctantly whispered.

Standing at the head of the city, listening to the sound of horns in the Houjin camp from a distance, Zhao Shujiao had a surprised expression on his face.

Is Houjin going to withdraw his troops, or is it ......

Without waiting for Zhao to arrange a horse sentinel to investigate, Houjin had already opened the door of the camp, and a team of Houjin soldiers rushed out of the camp and calmly opened the formation in the open space in front of the camp.

Do you want to siege the city?

Seeing that Houjin Shishu was not only in formation, but also constantly pushing out shield cars from the battalion, Zhao Shujiao's brows furrowed even tighter.

Overnight, this tartar has been adjusted?

Looking at the Tartar who was almost over, Zhao Shujiao shook his head and threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart.

"Alert."

With Zhao Shujiao's shouting, the rumbling drums also sounded at the head of Jinzhou City.

"Great Khan, Jinzhou has not yet fallen, we will rush to divide the troops, this is a taboo for soldiers!"

Leaving the camp, seeing that there were already Huang Taiji's personal guards all around, Fan Wencheng finally asked the question in his heart.

"Do you think that in 7 days, Mang Gurtai will really be able to conquer Jinzhou?"

Glancing at Fan Wencheng, he lightly urged the war horse, and Huang Taiji asked calmly.

7 days, hit Jinzhou?

Noticing these two keywords, Fan Wencheng's face suddenly showed a look of clarity.

"Mr. Fan, tell me to transfer all the siege equipment we have prepared."

Looking up into the distance, Huang Taiji's eyes were full of gloom.

"Great Khan?" This time, Fan Wencheng was really surprised.

The siege equipment is a number of large-scale siege equipment specially made by Huang Taiji according to ancient books in order to make up for the shortcomings of the Eight Banners Army in siege after Huang Taiji ascended the throne.

These large siege machines were not easy to make, and transportation was even slower. In this attack on Jinzhou, in order to ensure the speed of the march, the Houjin army did not bring those cumbersome siege equipment with them.

The mobilization of siege equipment means that Huang Taiji's original plan will be completely changed.

Seeing Fan Wencheng's surprise, Huang Taiji sighed softly: "Mr. Fan, the reaction of the Ming army this time is completely different from what we expected. We have yet to get a real seizure. Once I go to Ningyuan and don't capture anything, then we can only capture Jinzhou. ”

Turning his head and staring at Fan Wencheng solemnly, Huang Taiji's tone had become extremely solemn: "Mr. Fan, no matter what, you must transport the siege equipment to me under Jinzhou City." ”
